I had an amazing conversation with my brother Chad Johnson on Instagram Live. Chad is engaged to Michelle Williams and has a show called Chad Loves Michelle, which airs Saturdays at 9/8c on the OWN Network.
He and I had an open and honest dialogue about relationships, marriage, love, my new book …

While you wait, you’re not putting your life on hold or wasting time waiting for something to happen.
Instead, you’re taking all the time and attention that you’ve been projecting outward and turning it inward. That’s one of the most positive, life-affirming choices a person can make. From this …

When the two of us speak about our relationship and The Wait in front of live audiences or on radio or television, we hear plenty of questions from people of strong faith who are already getting their minds right and syncing up their choices with God’s will. They’re looking for ideas on how they can …

Self-esteem is the eight-hundred-pound gorilla in the room, the reason so many of us go astray before discovering The Wait. God may love us, we know, but we don’t always love ourselves very much.
So many of the problems that we bring upon ourselves, from addiction to remaining in damaging and …

Okay, you’ve found the one. Now what?
When you’re sure, get engaged. But be engaged only as long as it takes to plan your wedding. I’m not a believer in long engagements.
Men, in particular, are more likely to ask, “Will you marry me?” as a holding action because they don’t want to lose the …

Commitment can have a lot of meanings, but for The Wait, it has only one: marriage.

Many of you are ready for The Wait but aren’t sure what that will look like and more importantly, feel like in your life.
Involuntary celibacy isn’t The Wait. You haven’t been with anyone in a year because you’ve hit a dating dry spell? Sorry. Doesn’t count.
Remember, The Wait is a deliberate …

I know what you’re thinking—Can I date while I wait?
And the answer is: Of course, you can!
You can date while you’re practicing The Wait. You just can’t date in the same way you did before.
Even if you’re practicing The Wait and remaining celibate, you need to assess if you and the …

No other time of the year reminds you just how single you are than the holidays.
Why? Because every aunt, uncle, and distant cousin want to know one thing---Why are you still single?
Before you toss the salad at your nosey niece, take this approach instead: Tell them that you are still …

I'm always striving to be the best I can be on a daily basis - especially as a husband. And I give credit to the incredible tribe of women in my life for helping to preparing me for this role.
Meagan and I did an interview with Essence Magazine Yes, Girl! podcast where we talk about this and so …

If you've wondered how practicing The Wait can connect you to the life you want and the love that you want, this is a fantastic interview to watch!
